Also looking for a cheap place to crash
by Juan Lang Jan. 29, 2004

Jan. 29, 2004

Hi folks, I'm gonna try to make it, so I thought I'd echo Mike Hearn and ask if anyone in the area: a) Knows somewhere really cheap to stay for a few nights (like a youth hostel or something) b) Has/knows somebody who has a floor or sofa they wouldn't mind me sleeping on. TIA, --Juan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo! Photos - easier uploading and sharing. http://photos.yahoo.com/

we have an in house accounting program called XAlt. It is dependant on a network share being mapped to the U drive it also needs sql2000 client connectivity tools to be loaded, is there a way of setting this up in wine?

Jer, Do we have whiteboards in the presentation room? Are we expected to deliver the presentation through a computer/projector, or can we just talk freely and draw on a board? -- Dimi.

> Could you try the following: > http://www.winehq.org/wineconf/stream.html > and tell me how it goes? Well, the mdk RPMs of mplayer don't support rtsp, and I don't think I'll have time to rebuild before wineconf (Have to help my sister with javascript, se has a uni exam in a few days), and quicktime gets a nice "Connection failed" error after switching transport various times. BTW I have 2 firewalls, one behind the other, filtering everything and anything that's incoming, and I don't really want to change that. Maybe you could provide a trial version of crossover <Whatever version is ok to see the stream here>, or let me know what day/month/year wine was OK, so I can get that version from CVS. Ivan. p.s. Just tried again and quicktime just switches transport for ever until I close it.

Travel Arrangements:
by Mandi Gagne Jan. 27, 2004

Jan. 27, 2004

So far, these are the immediate concerns: Please confirm with me (and your buddy, if you've been assigned one) that you have received these instructions, so that I won't worry about you. If these instructions are not cool for one reason or other, please let me know immediately so I can tease you for being a crying ninny. HUW (huw(a)codeweavers.com) Chris will pick you up at the airport at 15:10 on Wednesday, door #6. Chris drives a navy blue Subaru legacy (station wagon). Where you go from there is a mystery.... FRANCOIS (francois(a)codeweavers.com) You will arrive at 18:11 on Wednesday, get your things, and meet up with Juan (juan_lang(a)yahoo.com) who lands at 19:00 at the Starbucks that Mike mentioned. Aric (aric(a)codeweavers.com) will pick the both of you up at 7:00. Please forgive me for the brief wait at the airport. Aric drives a white Subaru Hatchback, has long brown hair, is a non-smoker, and likes romantic walks on the beach at sunset. JUAN (juan_lang(a)yahoo.com) You arrive at 19:00, get your things, and meet Francois (francois(a)codeweavers.com) who is arriving from Chicago and will be waiting for you. Aric (aric(a)codeweavers.com) will pick you both up at door #6. Aric drives a white Subaru hatchback. He's a local, and knows his way around the city pretty well. Francois is staying at the Chatsworth in St. Paul, and you at the Youth Hostel in Minneapolis, so I'll leave it to you all to figure out the plans for Wednesday night. ULRICH (ulrich(a)codeweavers.com) Someone (we don't know who, yet), will pick you up at the airport at 10:30 am on Thursday at door #6. They will creep to the curb slowly and cautiously, and when you approach, will rev the engine and honk, then drive away very quickly with your bags. Just kidding. From there, you'll probably get stuck at the office. ALEXANDRE (alexandre(a)codeweavers.com) You arrive Thursday at 17:56. Rent a car. A big one. Pick it up. Drive to the "arrivals" lane of the airport and pick up Lionel (lionel.ulmer(a)free.fr) at door #6 (the last one) who lands at 18:45 on Thursday. I have no idea what he looks like. Maybe you can get in touch with him for better details. Lionel is staying at the Best Western (west of our office on University), and Jeremy is having a "thing" at his house in St. Paul. What you do with Lionel after you pick him up is your business. LIONEL (lionel.ulmer(a)free.fr): You arrive Thursday at 18:45. Alexandre (alexandre(a)codeweavers.com) is renting a car and will pick you up at door #6. I have no idea what kind of car he is renting, but I suggested "big" and I am expecting a two-seater sport-coupe with racing tires. Please contact Alexandre to confirm these arrangements. Alexandre is staying at the Chatsworth in St. Paul, and there is a "thing" later that evening at Jeremy's house. What you decide to do and when is not for me to choose, so I'll leave it to you to discuss with Alexandre. He's shy, and doesn't always bite, but be careful when playing "fetch" with him... he can get a little distracted by the leprechauns. TOM (twickline(a)skybest.com) We thought we'd leave you at the airport. Tough cookies, kid. TOM (twickline(a)skybest.com) Just kidding. You arrive on Friday at 10:00. That's an office day for us, and we haven't actually worked out the details yet, but someone will pick you up at door #6 at 10:15. Call my cell phone or the office number if something is amiss. The office is pretty close to the airport. BRIAN/DIMI/SHACHAR/BOAZ: Oh my goodness. Brian rented a car (brilliant!!) and it looks like you'll be riding together. Thanks a TON for giving me one less thing to worry about. If you guys want to get settled and then call one of the cell phones to hook up with the folks that want to go out, that would be rad. And if you don't, we'll see you on Saturday! ARTHUR, MIKE, VINCENT, ART, GAV... still working on details... please stand by.... big kiss, mandi

Remote access
by Jason Edmeades Jan. 27, 2004

Jan. 27, 2004

Hi, Has any progress been done wrt remote access (webcast thread earlier on)? I wouldnt mind having something to test to confirm I can get it going. You also mentioned that IRC would be used to interact, I assume that will be the #wineconf channel? (I've never used IRC so that alone will be an experience!). Jason

Folks, I'm going to delete this thread from the archive very quickly. However, phone numbers to use if you're here and you're lost and/or looking to make a connection should be (in priority order): CodeWeavers main number 651-523-9300 (hit 0) Mandi's Cell phone number: 651-503-7787 My Cell phone number: 651-503-7877 If you'll have a mobile, and want to supply that number to other folks, feel free to post it here; later this afternoon I'll erase the whole thread from the archives.

Friday
by Jeremy White Jan. 27, 2004

Jan. 27, 2004

Hey folks, I've gone ahead and rented an empty room for the weekend - room 170, so we now have two rooms for the conference. I think we're going to try to stick with 155 for the main presentations, though (because it'll have cat5), and use 170 as overflow. So, everyone that's getting in on Friday is welcome to come to our office and hang out. You can help us set up for the conference, and/or you can set up shop in room 170 for a bit. That way, folks that are interested in socializing Friday night can meet over here and go from there. Cheers, Jeremy

Jan. 26, 2004

Hi All, For those being picked up, or trying to arrange a meeting place, take a look at the following map(s): http://www.mspairport.com/MSP/Travelers_Guide/Terminal_Maps/Lindbergh/Bagga… http://www.mspairport.com/MSP/images/maps/Terminal_Maps/baggage_Claim_L.gif There's a Starbucks between exit doors 5 and 6 next to the International arrivals. I suggest people meet at door 6 next to Starbucks. If you've arranged to be picked up, then exit door 6 is a good location. see you all soon, Mike

Details, details, details
by Jeremy White Jan. 26, 2004

Jan. 26, 2004

Hi folks, Now that it's the last minute, we're finally starting to move on Wineconf <grin>. So, a few things. First, if you have registered, and you *cannot* make it, please let me know asap. We're trying to get accurate head counts for dinner reservations and donut buys and such. Second, we're starting to think about transportation and other issues. Mandi Gagne, our CNG (Chief Non Geek), has agreed to serve as the transportation czar. She's going to help coordinate everyones transportation. Now, if you've already figured out how to get yourself from the airport to wherever you're staying, great. If you'd like a bit of help, though, we're prepared to swarm the airport with friendly CodeWeavers chauffeurs. Here's the plan: if you need a ride from the airport, please email Mandi directly (mandi at codeweavers dot com). She'll coordinate things for you and give you her cell as a backup. If you are renting a car and would be willing to *give* rides, please also email Mandi. Next, fyi, we're chatting a fair amount in #wineconf, and I think we'll keep that open through the conference. Finally, I think we're going to plan an informal get together for dinner + libation on Friday night. I don't know where, or when, or any of that stuff (and I may not be able to join in for long myself). Do any of the locals on the list have any suggestions? If all else fails, I would think that meeting at Jillians at the Mall or somesuch would be good fun. Cheers, Jeremy

Access to the outside or local storage
by Vincent Béron Jan. 25, 2004

Jan. 25, 2004

Hi all, I'll be bringing a burrowed laptop to wineconf, and the agreement is that I don't put stuff on the HD. With a LiveCD, that's not a big problem to use the computer, but to do something useful during wineconf (build Wine, hack/use it, etc.), I'll need either some access to my box here over the Internet, or I can bring a 9GB SCSI HD to put in a local box over there, if there's a computer to which it can be hooked up. Which one is the preferred way for you guys? Also, I recall something about "wireless preferred" for the LAN, but that laptop doesn't have any 802.11 gear, only 10/100 Ethernet. Will that be available onsite? Thanks and see you on Friday night/Saturday morning, Vincent

Hi All, So, I've just booked my ticket to WineConf 2004, though my stay will be a bit limited, due to some other obligations around the same time (I'll arrive around 1:30pm on the 31st, and leave around the same time on the 1st). If there's time available, I would love to be able to give a brief chat about the ShmServer concept and discuss some of our work in that area (http://www.transgaming.com/papers/shmserver.html) Take care, -Gav -- Gavriel State Co-CEO & CTO TransGaming Technologies Inc. gav(a)transgaming.com http://www.transgaming.com Let the games begin!
